Dr. Pius Bigirimana, Permanent Secretary to the Judiciary, has defended his recently released book on sex, claiming that he wrote about it as a concerned, nurturing dad rather than as an academic.
A chapter on when and how sex should be had in the book Naked Truth, which Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny Dollo released around three weeks ago, has generated controversy on social media platforms.
Many people have criticized the book because of the author Bigirimana’s use of foul language.
Bigirimana, however, stated on Monday that he did not write the aforementioned book as an academician or a scholar, but rather as a parent with children and a person who cares about what occurs in this institution called marriage while visiting the Judiciary headquarters with Principal Judge Dr. Flavian Zeija.
He claimed that he wrote it to help those who are already married or who want to get married realize the importance of sex and to anticipate that it will always be a major factor in a man and woman’s relationship since, without it, families are disintegrating.
Bigirimana claims that the discussion in his book is about African sex magic and that he ventured to reveal the secrets of human sexuality and magic that are buried in African customs.
He claimed to have thought about the interconnectedness of people’s bodies and spirits as he was writing.
“There is a chapter that discusses your location and thoughts. Chapter 3 will help you grasp what I’m talking about. According to Bigirimana, “By basing our sexuality, we open the doors to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our cultural heritage.”
He went on to say that the fundamental message of the book is that sex should be viewed as a system of intimacy that has bonding, physical, and spiritual aspects in addition to being a simple physical act.
He stated that young people should go into marriage understanding that sex is something they should respect and that it is not something to be joked about.
This was disclosed by Bigirimana at the introduction of his sixth book, “A Small Book of Big Quotes,” which is an overview of his previous six publications and was edited by Ronald Nabimanya.
Among his other books are the COVID 19 Lockdown Chronicles, Abundance Mentality, and a book about the Northern War in Uganda called From Tears to Cheers, which provides a brief analysis of the reconstruction of the region between 2007 and 2012.
He was inspired by people who said that the government had done nothing to assist the people in Northern Uganda.
As the Chief Guest, Principal Judge Dr. Flavian Zeija emphasized the importance of praising and mentioning regional writers in order to help and develop up-and-coming talent.
The following generation of storytellers is nourished by this, according to him, as it promotes an innovative and creative culture.
Honouring our regional authors can also have a significant effect on community literacy rates and reading enthusiasm. By using their quotes, we encourage people to read and get curious in ideas, as well as to investigate the works of others,” Zeija stated.
